Coming off sane as usual. You really showed him....add me to your list too please. Better yet....
I think that outburst was the result of pent up emotion. The content and back forth on this board can make one quite emotional. The McAndrew Board makes me verklempt all the time. I've only been back for a couple of days and think I need another break.

But where else will you get the knowledge to be right about everything?
Chat GPT 4.0?


Guess not. You're right. This is it.

This latest change of BOT bylaws falls solely on him. With him leaking to Spotlight PA and the WSJ article, what did he think was going to happen? They were just going to open their books for him after they read those articles? Everyone that voted for him wanted him to go in and shake things up. Well, these are the results. A board that is more shuttered than ever.
Agree. Ironically the alumni have been more involved in BOT elections since 2011 to try to enact some big changes, and this is the biggest change that they accomplished in the past 13 years. Much to the detriment of alumni everywhere. Not enough attention is being called to this. The actions of a handful of alumni trustees, namely Lubrano and Barry, has resulted in the BOT taking even more control over the alumni seats. Congratulations, the alumni trustees finally accomplished something of note.

Do those folks "appreciate" that PSU's long-term debt has quadrupled to $4bn in ten years, that it has gone from $1.5bn to $4bn in five years? That their $20mm gift wouldn't come close to covering the interest on that debt? I'll bet they don't have a fu@kin' clue.

Rah, rah, rah. Go State.

Another group of people who should be vilified for not caring enough about Penn State’s future…

Just got off the phone with Lehman Twp concerning (complaining) about the quarry blast that shook the house, rocked me off my chair, put the computer monitor in seismic motion.

L a m e r accurately describes our Twp supervisors

Have to remember this fine word.
Thanks, please share other seldom heard jargon, adjectives in your posts.

I am taking a board break while the Gambits visit family and friends over the next month or so. I have a few minutes to post while Mrs. G changes our flat tire....yes, I'm kidding...but I must be brief. I applaud Barry's efforts to bring transparency and accountability to a Board sadly lacking in both.
I will add that I have no problem with Barry using gofundme to finance the process. Even if he, or a wealthy individual, chose to fund the entire effort, the impact of hundreds of donors, as opposed to a few individuals, cannot be denied.
Time to get back on the road. The weather is beautiful and so is the driver. Mrs. G gets her turn at the wheel and I'm ready!

What's the annual legal expense suffered by PSU, defending itself from all the Karens ... er, Barrys of the world?

It's surprising how many PSU employees are using their real name as opposed to anonymous.

I noticed a project up for bid through OPP for a Gulag to be built adjacent to the Arboretum. $500 MM, all in.

Barry, please don’t ask any questions. Only your approval is required.

Don't ask Barry about student ticket sales. He'll source Susan from Facebook with completely wrong information.

If you weren’t so personally invested would you support efforts for more transparency? I personally think all trustees who have a vote should have access to whatever information they need to make an informed decision. Our lawmakers are chowder heads but they can read a bill before voting on it. Barry and others should have that same opportunity. Now, if given this information in confidence I would hope any trustee would be appropriately discreet. If leaked and found out, I do believe that would be cause for removal.

Congrats on the kids and college!

Thank you. I'm all for transparency and I stand by my posts in this thread. His constant shìt talking about PSU is effing tiresome. I truly think it's at the point where he's doing it because he loves the attention. There's right ways to accomplish what he's trying to do and there's wrong ways. And I for sure think he's dead wrong with what he's doing using the media. ✌️

WRT the fees charged by investment advisors he asked for the information and it wasn't provided. In their response to the lawsuit, PSU did not say that he never requested the information or that it was provided to him. What else is he supposed to do?

At this point he should create an OnlyFans page. You asked.

Ok guys and gals, Barry's fund is at $9,340. Time to jump in and help. BTW, Greg Elinsky, a four time All-America Wrestler at PSU in the mid-80's just donated $250.

Forget about THON and childhood Cancer! Donate that money to help a guy sue Penn State to find out if they might be paying too much in fees for money management!
